Michael Smith: Bronny James 'can't be that naive' about LeBron's draft impact | Brother From Another

[@almac2323]

Bronny is not a NBA talent! Period!

[@Jersey609]

What are we really talking about here🤔👀, LeBron will be out of the league in a year or two. Good business is not trading away all your draft capital to get a player in Bronny who scouts say isn't that good. The mere fact that most people agree that he's getting a shot that he doesn't deserve, says that this is all a joke.

[@kennethiwuji6700]

The Circus continues where ever that man goes now he bringing his son for the free ride

[@dnice4145]

Michael Smith can be a real dope sometimes. Why would any team want to hitch their future to a past their prime malcontent and his un-draftworthy son. If the lakers draft Bronny it should tell everyone they have no clue what to do next after Lebron leaves them.

[@joeschmoe5231]

Bronny has health issues also.......

[@biggblack5]

Was he pushed to play basketball or did he choose it on his own? Many kids will choose not to play because they don't want that spotlight on them.

[@alonzolincoln8745]

The reason he didn't want to go back to school and he needs to is because next yrs draft has coop in them in the draft and he definitely would be a undrafted player

[@messagesent]

He is like every other kid who has a father. Yes you may be happy that your father is an influential person. But you ultimately want to equal or better than your father. In reality he wouldn't be able to consider the NBA as an option. But LeBron James is not a superstar anymore. He's not as special anymore.

[@rayrichard4665]

I’m sorry is the NBA that bad now?

[@jonosay854]

LeQueen is the only reason for why Bronny entered the draft this year. HE wants to play with his son so EsPn can say MJ never played with his son. The Queen must be the GoAt

[@erictalbert4633]

I agree with your statement but “ LeQeen??” How old are you a 5th grader?? Your self righteous statement almost sounds racist.

[@erictalbert4633]

I agree with your statement but “ LeQeen??” How old are you a fifth grader?? You sound like a self righteous white guy.

[@kennethiwuji6700]

Rushin the kid with health scare to tryout for NBA and same breath says let the kid be a kid. cant make this stuff up even if I try😂😂😂

[@clarkware4178]

What in the HELL IS LeQueen!

[@KP-05]

The dude is PR trained. Moving on

[@TheOtherMJ_76]

Regardless of where he's drafted, his play will decide what kind of career he has. If he's not impactful on the court he'll last a few years and then be sent overseas if he wants to continue to play professionally. Simple as that.

[@sandramcarthur7708]

FATHER AND SON MAKE IT HAPPEN...REST OF Y'ALL NOT YOUR BUSINESS..YOU DO YOU ..NOT THEM .BRON IF YOU CAN MAKE YOUR TEAMMATES BETTER ..TAKE CARE OF YOUR SONS!!!...NO REGRETS!!! DO YOURS!!!❤❤❤ COME ON....

[@clarkware4178]

I like Michael Smith! But i wish he stop interrupting!

[@abjustdoit1294]

Just like my Chargers basically got Jerry rice as assistant receivers coach 😂

[@gcswift2]

Smith... He may well know this. But, he can't say any of that. You can't be the dumb.

[@pongdang989]

Bronny should already know he sucks since he's played in the college level. He's already well aware that he couldn't dominate and there were so many other people more talented than him at the college level. Even though he knows this, he's still entering the draft. There's only 2 scenarios - he knows he'll get drafted because of his dad or he's really stupid.

[@kimsims3543]

Compare to this week draft class of 2024 he would be a gem for any GM.

[@sherylrush1795]

What realy not

[@damionallen8349]

Rich and poor alike have been giving their kids a leg up in life what reality you been living in?

[@kennethiwuji6700]

The man is setting up his son for failure. Please explain how Bronny benefits from being one and done if he seriuous about an NBA career? While his dad add to his empty stat sheet. Bron is the only one stands to win more by using his kid.

[@buck4129]

How bout the kids who deserve to be in nba. Their like bol bol who getting jerk for years n he way better then bronny. Shaq son averaged same amount of point n I didn’t see no one say let’s give ref a shot. Shaq told son stay ass n college son said I’m good I’m turning pro ! Where he at now? Wade son didn’t even go to college where he at now

[@RobertWilliams-qv2iu]

Bronny won't last

[@Mstew008]

It’s not naive he is a kid trying to accomplish his dream, he doesn’t understand how things work on that end

[@MusicIsLove313]

Then his father hasn't taught a very simple concept. I think you're naive for suggesting he doesn't know.

[@blackcat513358]

​@@MusicIsLove313I bet he's taught him to understand if a woman wants him for his money or not. He can't be that obtuse.

[@kennethiwuji6700]

@@MusicIsLove313 They throw rocks and play victim. The irony talkin Earn not Given and turn around let his son cheat the game.SMH

[@damionallen8349]

This conversation is old and tired you have a opportunity to help your child set himself up for life with a dream job are you not going to do it?😊

[@kennethiwuji6700]

Where is the Honor in your logic? This is a Billionare kid they say so why are they cheating the system when we have kids that did way more than Bronny and derserve the spot.

[@denicethomas8561]

Why is it a problem that LeBron can put his thumb on the scale for his son. Look around it's being done everyday. The fact that a black man can have that kind of impact makes it even better.

[@MusicIsLove313]

They never said it was a problem. They said he can't be that naive.

[@joshuafootman1593]

We complain when white folk do it. The league will weed his sorry ass son out the league. It's a grown man league

[@boxersearles8466]

Black or white man if you don't have the talent you shouldn't have the position

[@dnice4145]

Nonsense. Any man should want their son to earn their own successes and failures. Doing any thing else is robbing him of his own identity. Every son wants to become his own man.

[@pambrown5625]

I agree... It feels great to see him be able to put bronny on course. He earned that right for last 21 years and I love it...
